The Chiefs’ injury report got longer Saturday in St. Joseph, and the biggest new name on it was Xavier Worthy.
Kansas City said the wide receiver was dealing with a shoulder injury after appearing to hurt his right shoulder on a diving catch near the goal line. The play came on a pass from Patrick Mahomes, and Worthy landed shoulder-first with cornerback Kader Kohou rolling on top of him.
It’s the same shoulder Worthy injured on the third play of last year’s opener, when he collided with tight end Travis Kelce. He had shoulder surgery during the offseason and wore a non-contact jersey throughout the team’s offseason program.
Rookie wide receiver Cyrus Allen also left practice after suffering a bone bruise, a source told The Star. Allen exited on the front of a cart with athletic trainers and is considered “day to day.”
There was also no practice for defensive end Ashton Gillotte, who is dealing with the hamstring strain he picked up Friday. He wore a compression sleeve on his leg and spent time rehabbing with athletic trainers off to the side while the rest of the team worked. On Friday, head coach Andy Reid said he didn’t think Gillotte’s strain was “too bad.”
The Chiefs continued to manage a few other players as camp rolled on. Cornerback L’Jarius Sneed and wide receiver Rashee Rice were limited again, just as they had been during the first three days. Both were out for warmups and installs before leaving ahead of team periods.
Defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott is still on the Physically Unable to Perform list and worked alongside Gillotte. Cornerback Mansoor Delane remained in a yellow non-contact jersey.
Kicker Harrison Butker was not at practice Saturday for personal reasons, though special teams coordinator Dave Toub expects him back for Monday’s workout after Sunday’s off day. Linebacker Wesley Bissainthe also missed practice for an undisclosed reason.

Travis Kelces Camp Look Has Chiefs Fans Debating One Big Thing
A new practice clip of Travis Kelce has given Chiefs fans plenty to talk about, even before the season gets moving in earnest. The tight end, now coming off his recent marriage to Taylor Swift, was the focus of a viral video that quickly drew reactions online, with viewers zeroing in on his appearance and trying to make sense of what they were seeing during camp.
Some fans treated the footage like a clue about Kelces physical condition, while others chalked it up to football gear and the usual look of a player back on the field. For now, though, there has been no official word tying the online chatter to his fitness or playing status, which leaves the discussion exactly where Chiefs fans seem to like it least: still unresolved.

Kadarius Toney Just Reopened A Chiefs Debate Fans Didn't Expect
Kadarius Toneys Chiefs tenure already has a place in team lore, thanks to the kind of moments that matter in January and February more than they do in weekly stat lines. He was a key part of Kansas Citys Super Bowl LVII run, highlighted by a record 65-yard punt return and a touchdown catch, before injuries and limited playtime eventually pushed him out the door and led to his release in August 2024.
Now Toney has found himself back in the conversation for a very different reason, with a recent image sending Chiefs fans into a fresh round of wondering what, if anything, it could mean. After a brief stop with the Browns and a pivot toward a rap career, his connection to Kansas City suddenly feels a lot less settled than it did a few months ago, even if theres still no official indication the relationship is changing.

Chiefs Suddenly Face A Cyrus Allen Question They Did Not Want
Cyrus Allen had been one of the more encouraging rookie stories in Chiefs camp, the kind of late-round addition who starts drawing attention because he keeps showing up in the right spots. The rookie receiver, a day three pick out of Cincinnati, has been getting a noticeable share of work from Patrick Mahomes and had been building momentum on both offense and special teams before Wednesdays practice took a turn.
The setback came during a special teams period, when Allen came off the field after contact with Kaiir Elam. Special teams coordinator Dave Toub has already liked what hes seen from Allen and believed he could help the Chiefs this season, which is why the injury lands with a little more weight than the usual camp bump and bruise. For a player trying to turn a strong August into a real role, the next update matters just as much as the early buzz. [Read more 🡒]
